Spearmint Essential Oil - USA (Mentha Spicata)

Like peppermint, spearmint, or Mentha spicata, is a member of the mint family. It is a shrub originally native to much of Europe and Asia, though it is now cultivated worldwide. 

A popular flavoring agent in toothpaste, breath mints, and gum, spearmint is often overlooked for its medicinal properties...

Spearmint Essential Oil has been used to help relieve digestion upset, headaches and hormonal imbalance while also increasing focus, stimulating the mind, and freshening the breath. This Spearmint Essential Oil is a key herbal remedy to have on hand in your collection whenever the need may arise. When applied on the skin Spearmint can help relax sore muscles while also providing a cooling and soothing sensation.

Spearmint Essential Oil is extracted by steam distillation from the leaves or the flowering tops of the plant. Spearmint essential oil has many of the same benefits and uses as peppermint oil. However, unlike peppermint oil, spearmint oil contains smaller quantities of menthol, which makes its aroma less intense and which reduces the likelihood that it might irritate the skin. In aromatherapy, spearmint can be used as a gentler substitute for peppermint oil.

Properties: Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Emmenagogue, Insecticide, Restorative, Stimulant
